Society's obsession with selfies is driven by our desire for attention and validation from others on social media. We curate selfies to portray an edited version of ourselves, using filters and poses to look our best. While selfies allow us to control how we present ourselves online, they also reflect our need for approval and how social media has strengthened the impact of others on our self-image and self-worth. The rise of apps that make sharing photos easy has led to an intensification of the selfie phenomenon and our constant need for online connection, even if only superficial.
